Chapter 574: Dense Firelight
After Ji Lingbing captured Liyang City bloodlessly, he left a thousand people to garrison in the city, waiting for the arrival of Yuan Shu's army in the rear, and the rest of the people continued to move forward and headed towards the Yangtze River in the south of Jiujiang County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When Ji Ling led his troops to the Yangtze River in Jiujiang County, Yuan Shujun's naval army was delayed. Originally, according to the plan, Yuan Shu estimated that it would take at least half a day for his side to capture this Liyang City, so he asked the navy to postpone the trip.
Ji Ling stood by the Yangtze River, the turbulent Yangtze River flowing water was wrapped in a thick fog in the air, which made people feel very bored.
Ji Ling was a little bored in his heart, but he could only lead the troops on the bank of the river and wait patiently for the arrival of his own naval army.
After a long time, the sky was gradually darkening, but Yuan's navy still hadn't arrived - according to the predetermined plan, his own navy should have arrived a few hours ago!
"Did something happen?" Ji Ling thought suspiciously, and when he was about to send someone to inquire about Yuan Shu, a huge fleet finally stood out in the dense fog and slowly came to the shore to stop.
"Finally she's here! What did these guys do?! Ji Ling walked up to the fleet very impatiently, came to the flagship of this fleet, found the general of Yuan Shujun's navy, and asked with a slashed face: "How did you do it?" Why did it take so long to come? Look at how much time has passed since the scheduled time?! ”
The general of the Yuan Army said innocently: "We also want to arrive early!" However, I don't know who is so lacking in morality, countless boulder reefs have been placed under the river, and the warships of our navy have a deep draft, and many of them have been damaged by surprise. And what is even more exaggerated is that on the entire Yangtze River, I don't know when countless huge iron cables were crossed. In this thick fog, our navy often finds itself suddenly in front of these iron cables. But by this time, it's often too late......."
"It seems that this Yangzhou assassin is really prepared! We are almost certainly aware of when it was revealed, by this Yangzhou assassin history. After I entered Liyang City, the large army of Yangzhou in the city had retreated, leaving only a small part of the troops stationed, and we came here after a fierce battle, completely eliminating the defenders in the city. ”
Ji Ling didn't look rough on the surface, but he was also a person with a lot of city government, and said this to the generals of the navy.
"The general has taken Liyang City!" The general of the Yuan army suddenly came to his senses and asked in surprise.
Ji Ling looked at the surprise of the generals of the navy army with great enjoyment, and said: "This is just a piece of cake, the enemy army has already trembled when he sees the great prestige of our army, and he has no morale. ”
"It's still a brave general! In less than half a day, he captured the former capital of Yangzhou, which is the first class credit in our army. ”
"Haha, the general is overrated." Ji Ling laughed and said: "What is this Liyang City, if you really want to count the merits, let's wait to attack Yuzhang City and capture Yangzhou Assassin Shi Yu Zhugong." General, without further ado, please hurry up and cross the river. ”
The general of the Yuan army said with a smile: "Don't worry, the lord has transferred all the water troops in the entire Huainan this time to cover our operation to cross the river." The general took a moment, and after our naval army landed on the opposite side and occupied a landing field, our infantry could begin to cross the river. ”
"Then what if the enemy water army suddenly attacks at this time?" Ji Ling asked with some concern. You must know that most of the soldiers in Yuan Shu's hands are armor soldiers brought from the north, and most of them are landlubbers who can't swim at all. In the midst of the raging Yangtze River, if there is some accident in the process of crossing the river, his soldiers will face great risks.
"This general doesn't have to worry. Our navy will naturally protect the general! As long as the enemy navy dares to come, we can wipe them out on the Yangtze River! ”
The generals of the Yuan Army patted their chests with confidence. The confidence that he dared to say such a thing lay in the huge fleet of Yuan Shujun's naval warships at their feet at this moment.
In order to conquer the Yangzhou area with a dense water network in one fell swoop, Yuan Shu transferred almost all the elites of Yuan Shu's army this time, and formed a super fleet with thousands of large and small warships, a large number of yachts, fighting ships, and hundreds of more than a dozen three-story ships! Such a naval force is invincible in the entire north, even in the south, the only one who is worried about Yuan Shu's naval army is the Jingzhou naval army. Facing Lin Ran's little-known Xiaobai Alliance Naval Army-To be honest, the generals of the Yuan Army and the Naval Army really didn't take such a small dish that they had never heard of in their eyes.
"Then there will be General Law." Ji Ling nodded, and didn't say anything more. He is an army general, so naturally it is not good to point fingers at the affairs of the navy, and they also know a lot about the battle on the water, as long as they are ready to organize the crossing of the river.
Soon, Yuan's army, which had encountered walls everywhere on the Yangtze River, began to approach Wu County on the opposite side with anger.
With the help of the dense fog and night on the river, Yuan's navy began to quickly approach the opposite riverbank, trying to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders of Wu County to seize a landing ground in one fell swoop. As long as a landing ground can be initially captured, this night's time is enough to transport 30,000 people of Ji Ling's forward army to the opposite bank. By tomorrow, even if the enemy in Yangzhou discovered their actions, it would be too late.
Full of excitement in his heart, the commander of the Yuan army led the fleet to penetrate the layers of dense fog, and in a short time, rushed to the opposite side of the Yangtze River.
"General, why is there a fire on the other side?" The warship in front of it sent someone to deliver the message at this time.
The commander of the Yuan army looked up and was very surprised. The surface of the river, which was originally quiet in the darkness of thick mist, now had a long wall of fire in the distance -- within the field of vision of the commander of Yuan's navy, this wall of fire almost stretched across the entire bank of the Yangtze River, and there was not a single vacancy or darkness.
"What the hell is this?! Send a boat over now! Figure out what exactly these things and firelight are? The commander of the Yuan army said in surprise and anger.
Yuan's navy sent many small boats and quickly approached the river bank. Yuan Jun's reconnaissance boat suddenly discovered that these dense fires turned out to be countless players of the player patrol holding torches high.......
